I agree with Trent that this is a bug, and I agree with the second patch (pymacconfig.h.patch2). Mark-Andre, sys.byteorder is not affected because detects the byte order at run-time, not at compile-time. Likewise, in the struct module, several code paths rely on dynamic determination of the endianness, such as _PyLong_FromByteArray, the float packing, and the whichtable function.
